Ideal Look For A Man’s Bedroom

A MAN’S bedroom does not necessarily mean a bachelor’s bedroom. Men can also enjoy romantic interiors, but with manly touch. The most important things that can give the bedroom a masculine feeling is the wall colours, accessories, bedding and furniture. A man is not completely given to delicate things, but luxury is a style statement and men want it too. To give the room a clean and clear look one should first clearly demarcate what he really wants and what are for decorative purpose only. Fresh flowers and floral drapes are definitely not macho.

Colours

A man’s bedroom should have basic and bold colours to give it a strong look. The favorites being black, blue, purple and green. You can actually do magic by the application of these colours in the right way. Go for the same tones in one colour rather than selecting different colours for one bedroom. If you are going for wallpaper finish then try them in these shades with horizontal and vertical lines. Creating a wave pattern with a particular wallpaper design is also a good choice’

Fabrics

   Fabrics can be of any material you fancy. The popular choices for men’s bedroom include Egyptian cotton, a blend of cotton and polyester, jacquard weave, velvet, faux suede and leather, Blue suede has also become quite popular. One can use it is a duvet cover to give a manly as well as romantic touch. Blue fabric when teamed with white can give quite a sophisticated look to the bedroom as well

Bedding

  A man’s bed space is his own private den. So the bedspread, bed sheets all should give a masculine feeling. One can either go for plain coloured sheets like blue, earthy colours, black, crimson red etc. The other option is going for bedding in animal prints. Tiger, deer and elephant printed sheets look excellent in men’s bedrooms. Satin sheets in bold colours also go very well with the masculine theme.

Men’s bedroom accessories

Go for some straight vertical looking side table lamps. The lamps not only provide easy bedtime reading but also give some effective lighting solution for the bedroom. One can also add some elephant print throe in pillows for the stylish feel. For wall accessories go for earthy paintings. If you are of art then modern art is also a good choice. Complete the bedroom look with some throw rugs. And finally put some candles. Select candle of different heights and natural colour and lace them on a glass plate or dish with river rocks.

Furniture

  Bed is not the only furniture in the bedroom. Right from the side tables to the dresser to the wardrobe everything speaks volume of masculinity. Try going for strong wooden furniture rather than the wrought iron stuff. Right from the bed to the small dresser everything in wood gives a clean look to the men’s bedroom. A man’s world is about elegance, sophistication and class all clubbed together.

MAKE YOUR CLOTHES LAST LONGER

SAVING money and spending it only on necessary item is what most people are doing these days. This is a prudent thing to do no matter the state of the economy. And properly caring for your clothes so they last longer is one way to cut costs. Here are a few simple things you can do to prolong the life of your clothes.
One way clothes lose their life span is through frequent washing. Each time you wash your clothes, colour fades (with most fabrics) and fibred are weakened. Of course, you need to wash your clothes and you don’t want to scare people away with odour and stains. But there are a few things you can do that will be gentler on your clothes.

• Wash clothes in cold water, especially dark colour.

•  Be sure to separate dark and white before washing light colored clothing can leave lint on dark clothes, while dark clothes can bleed colors onto white clothes.     

• Wash your clothes on the gentle cycle use a gentle detergent.

• Wash rough stuff like jeans together and softer fabrics together

Clothes should be turned inside out before washing. This prevent colour from fading. This is especially important when it come to jeans. Wear your clothes more than once before washing. Of course if something get stained, wash it. The rule does not apply to underwear, which must not be worn more than once. But things like dress shirts, jeans and cotton trouser can be worn more than once. If a stain is small, you can simply spot clean instead of throwing the whole garment in the wash.

It’s no secret that clothes dryer used in most dry-cleaning shops damage to your wardrobe. Even on low heat, dryer wreak havoc on fabrics. All that line that collects in the dryer filter used to be fibres in your clothing. You can air dry your more expensive shirt and jeans, as well as things that are prone to shrink. The side benefit to air drying is that you will save energy too. Air drying also means minimum sunlight; you must watch and remove your clothes on time and out of reach of the scorching sun.

DRESSING PROFESSIONALLY

WHILE the person in jeans may be as competent and as intelligent as the one wearing the formal suit appearances are bound to influence the assessment of attribute. All the ingredient- knowledge, preparation, and appearance- are necessary to make a good impression. When you work at home or in an office where casual attire is the norm, its difficult to get of that role and into the role of the professional in front of the audience or in front of a television camera. But, if you want to make a good impression, its worth the effort.

Here’s what you need to do.
If you must buy a suit for the few occasions you have to make a public appearance, buy something classic. After all, if you’re only going to wear the suit a few of times a year, you wouldn’t want it to go out of style too quickly. You can probably get away with a nice skirt and jacket. A trouser suit is also s good idea.
If you’re going to be in front of the camera, some special rules apply. Wear neutral colures like dark blue or grey. Don’t wear large or glitzy jewelers, and wear a button down shirt or a jacket so there will be a place to clip a microphone.
